Welcome
Welcome to the Circular Economy Wiki within Designing Buildings. This is a centralised platform containing guidance, definitions and examples on implementing circular economy in construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute to the site by creating or adding to articles.
Our key articles will primarily address the following focus areas:
- Data collection, analysis and sharing of built environment materials
- Reuse and recycling of building materials
- Transformation and refurbishment of buildings
- Design for disassembly and flexible construction
- Circular construction in urban planning policy
[edit] Willkommen
Willkommen beim „Kreislaufwirtschaftswiki“, einer zentralen Plattform mit Anleitungen, Definitionen und Beispielen (wie z. B. Fallstudien) zur Umsetzung der Kreislaufwirtschaft im Bauwesen. Jeder ist willkommen, zur Seite beizutragen, indem er Artikel erstellt oder hinzufügt.
Unsere Hauptartikel werden sich hauptsächlich mit den folgenden Schwerpunktbereichen befassen:
- Datenerfassung, Analyse und gemeinsame Nutzung von Baumaterialien
- Wiederverwendung und Recycling von Baumaterialien
- Umwandlung und Sanierung von Gebäuden
- Design für Demontage und flexibles Bauen
- Zirkuläres Bauen in der Stadtplanungspolitik
[edit] Tervetuloa
Tervetuloa Designing Buildings-sivuston kiertotalouswikiin. Tämä sivusto sisältää ohjeita, määritelmiä ja esimerkkejä, joilla kiertotaloutta voidaan edistää rakentamisessa. Voit halutessasi muokata tai lisätä artikkeleita sivuille.
Artikkelimme keskittyvät seuraaviin aiheisiin:
- datan keräys ja analysointi sekä rakennetun ympäristön materiaalien vaihdanta
- rakennusosien uudelleenkäyttö ja rakennusmateriaalien kierrätys
- rakennusten kunnostaminen ja muuntaminen toiseen käyttötarkoitukseen
- purettavuuden mahdollistava suunnittelu ja joustava rakentaminen
- rakentamisen kiertotalous kaupunkisuunnittelussa

Circular construction, the application of the circular economy to the construction industry, aims to close building material loops by reusing, sharing, leasing, repairing, refurbishing, upcycling or recycling rather than continuing the traditional take-make-consume-dispose process. It is about considering how to maximise the lifespan and reusability of entire buildings or materials at the very start of the design process.
